Paul Aspey who has qualified to represent Wales on 3 occasions to date was asked what players would experience if they reached final.  His response was:

'I represented Wales at the World Corporate Golf Challenge in La Manga, Spain 2010, South Africa 2012 and Soto Grande, Spain 2014.

My first experience in 2010 was outstanding and was over before I really realise what I’d qualified for and the achievement I had attained.  The days there were very busy with practice, preparation and playing.

South Africa was very different as it's a country I've always wanted to visit and to experience their culture.  The golf remained the most important part of the trip for me however and therefore practice and preparation was uppermost in my mind.  This competition was very well organised by the World Corporate Golf Challenge and our hosts in South Africa and it's a memory I will have for a long time.

Soto Grande was the nearest an amateur golfer will ever get to experiencing what it must be like to play in a professional golf tournament.  This event surpassed every previous tournament I had ever taken part in, both for the organisation of the event and everything else associated with a very well run professional golf week.  My advice to anyone experiencing this for the first time is to prepare your game beforehand, relax and enjoy the week.  It’s like nothing else on earth.  I thought I had died and gone to Golfing Heaven!
